Speaker 1: Orange County. It's time for your morning wake up.
Speaker 2: Call, and good morning.
Speaker 3: This is your wake up call for Thursday, January two,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. It is five o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3: I'm Michael Monks, sitting in for Amy King again. You know,
Speaker 3: despite the tragic start to the new year in America,
Speaker 3: I hope you had time to enjoy your family and
Speaker 3: your friends, find some time to feel optimistic about what's
Speaker 3: ahead for you, maybe feel some gratitude. Rough day yesterday
Speaker 3: all around the country, lots of bad stuff happening, and
Speaker 3: I'm the guy who gets to tell you this morning
Speaker 3: there's more. So we'll get through this together, and surely
Speaker 3: there are better days ahead in twenty twenty five. But
Speaker 3: for now, just find some space for yourself, keep your
Speaker 3: head on straight, and let's dig into what's going on
Speaker 3: in the United States of America today. Here's what's a
Speaker 3: head on wake up call. We got lots of developments
Speaker 3: in that terrorist attack at New Orleans and the cyber
Speaker 3: truck explosion in Las Vegas. In just a few moments,
Speaker 3: we'll dig into what happened outside the Trump Hotel in
Speaker 3: Las Vegas where the cyber truck exploded. ABC News investigative
Speaker 3: reporter Peter Harlambus he'll join us with the latest in
Speaker 3: that investigation. We've learned more about the man who killed
Speaker 3: fifteen people in New Orleans by ramming his rented pickup
Speaker 3: truck in a busy street in the French Quarter. ABC
Speaker 3: News National correspondent Steven Portnoy will join us. He'll have
Speaker 3: all the details on what did happen and what is
Speaker 3: happening now in New Orleans in terms of that investigation.
Speaker 3: And then later this hour, it's been eighty years today
Speaker 3: since Japanese American families were released from internment camps here
Speaker 3: in the US where they were placed during World War Two.
Speaker 3: One family returned to their home in East LA where
Speaker 3: they had roots for decades before and in the decades since.
Speaker 3: We'll talk with one man who is still keeping the
Speaker 3: family's experience alive in East LA and he'll talk about
Speaker 3: why that story should continue to be told. And then
Speaker 3: at the top of the hour six oh five, we've
Speaker 3: got handle on the news, we'll dig more deeply into
Speaker 3: some of these stories and other stories serious and otherwise
Speaker 3: six oh five. Wayne Resnik is in for Bill for
Speaker 3: the rest of the week. I'll join Wayne for that
Speaker 3: six o'clock hour, and hope you can join us as well.
Speaker 3: We'll start now with some stories coming out of the
Speaker 3: KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Another person has been found
Speaker 3: dead on a freeway in La This time it was
Speaker 3: on the five near Link Heights, where the CHP responded
Speaker 3: just before two o'clock this morning. The body was found
Speaker 3: partially in the right lane and right shoulder on the
Speaker 3: northbound side at Broadway. Multiple lanes had to be shut
Speaker 3: down for the investigation. Yesterday morning, a man with no
Speaker 3: pants on was hit by a car and killed while
Speaker 3: walking on the one ten near downtown La. And a
Speaker 3: man has died after crashing his SUV into a horse
Speaker 3: trailer on the sixty Freeway and Diamond Bar. The twenty
Speaker 3: year old driver's vehicle overturned in the hov lane on
Speaker 3: the eastbound side near Golden Springs. Drive Jose Santos and
Speaker 3: Alasko died at the scene. A driver and passenger in
Speaker 3: the pickup that was pulling the horse trailer were not injured.
Speaker 3: How about the price of eggs. The price of a
Speaker 3: dozen eggs in California has jumped to nearly nine dollars
Speaker 3: in some areas due to high demand and eight bird
Speaker 3: flew outbreak. The US Department of Agriculture has noted that
Speaker 3: the average price for large eggs has risen by seventy
Speaker 3: eight cents to eight dollars and ninety seven cents per dozen,
Speaker 3: largely because of reduced supply. The FDA reported a four
Speaker 3: percent drop in egg production in November that is also
Speaker 3: driven up the prices. Here's some good news, maybe for
Speaker 3: younger people in your lives. Students in California may find
Speaker 3: themselves with less homework. The Healthy Homework Act, signed by
Speaker 3: Governor Gavin Newsom, encourages school districts to create homework policies
Speaker 3: that consider students physical and mental well being, with input
Speaker 3: from parents, teachers, and students. While the law doesn't ban homework,
Speaker 3: it aims to make it more manageable. The new law
Speaker 3: mandates that the California Department of Education post homework guidelines
Speaker 3: online for the next school year and requires school districts
Speaker 3: to create their own homework policies by the start of
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty seven school year. In addition to the
Speaker 3: tragic chaos in New Orleans, a second event happened in
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, where a Tesla cyber tr exploded outside the
Speaker 3: Trump Las Vegas Hotel. Who runs Tesla Elon Musk, whose
Speaker 3: name is on the hotel the President elect. Musk and
Speaker 3: Trump have worked closely together since the election and plan
Speaker 3: to collaborate during the new administration on the Department of
Speaker 3: Government Efficiency. So was this also some kind of message.
Speaker 3: It's being investigated. ABC News investigative reporter Peter Harlambus joins
Speaker 3: us live from New York to discuss Peter, thank you
Speaker 3: for being with us this morning.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3: So this Tesla explosion, this cyber truck explosion, does not
Speaker 3: look like it was an accident. What can you tell
Speaker 3: us about the scene that unfolded in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: It was really a shocking scene yesterday. According to Las
Speaker 2: Vegas Sheriff Kevin Mchail, this was an isolated incident and
Speaker 2: there's no threat to the public. But these images they're
Speaker 2: seeing this cyber truck pull up loaded with firework style mortars,
Speaker 2: gas canisters, and fuel before it exploded underneath the Trump
Speaker 2: Hotel Las Vegas was certainly astounding to see. We know
Speaker 2: that the driver was killed in the attack and seven
Speaker 2: were injured. Are now investigating any possible links between that
Speaker 2: incident at the Trump Hotel and that attack in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: As of this morning, there's no evidence linking the two,
Speaker 2: but there are concerning similarities, ranging from the fact that
Speaker 2: these were both attacks carried out with trucks on New
Speaker 2: Year's Day and they were rented through the same vehicle
Speaker 2: renting app.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask about this vehicle renting app
Speaker 3: that's called Touro, And you know, obviously people use apps,
Speaker 3: and maybe people who are plotting separate crimes or acts
Speaker 3: of terror are not communicating with each other just because
Speaker 3: they have access to an app. But what is this app?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Touro is an app where you can rent
Speaker 2: a car like you would rent a room from someone
Speaker 2: via Airbnb. Anyone could list their car in assuming they
Speaker 2: have the proper insurance, and you can rent the fancier,
Speaker 2: more exotic vehicles, for example, like Tesla cyber trucks. At
Speaker 2: this point, though, investigators are saying this is isolated, that
Speaker 2: these weren't connected, or at least they haven't seen any
Speaker 2: evidence connecting the two. The fact that this happened on
Speaker 2: New Year's Day and they were both rented through Truro
Speaker 2: at this point remains just a coincidence, though investigators are
Speaker 2: pursuing any possible lead.
Speaker 3: What can you tell us about the person who died
Speaker 3: and signed the cyber truck?
Speaker 2: So investigators haven't publicly named the suspect yet, but we
Speaker 2: do know some information about who rented this vehicle. It
Speaker 2: was rented by an Army veteran from Colorado Springs. Overnight,
Speaker 2: we saw atf agent searching that home that we believe
Speaker 2: belong to the suspect. Here, according to law enforcement, this
Speaker 2: suspect wasn't showing signs of allegiance to a particular group,
Speaker 2: unlike what we saw in New Orleans where the suspect
Speaker 2: was inspired by ISIS. And we do know that he
Speaker 2: left Colorado Springs in the thirtieth He arrived in Las
Speaker 2: Vegas in the morning of New Year's Day, drove up
Speaker 2: and down the strip a number of times before pulling
Speaker 2: into this hotel and eventually having this car explode underneath
Speaker 2: a canopy. Interestingly, they haven't found a detonator among the wreckage,
Speaker 2: so they're trying to figure out how exactly these explosives
Speaker 2: were set off.
Speaker 3: So similar to the attack in New Orleans, Peter, this
Speaker 3: was an Army veteran as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, based on what we know about who rented the vehicle,
Speaker 2: and again they haven't publicly named the suspect, so investigators
Speaker 2: haven't made that connection quite yet. We do believe it
Speaker 2: was rented by an Army veteran. I hope and I
Speaker 2: expect that today we'll learn a bit more about the
Speaker 2: suspect in this case, and if this person who rented
Speaker 2: the vehicle, it's the same person who died in the attack,
Speaker 2: will hopefully get some more information about their service record.
Speaker 3: We don't know all the facts yet, obviously, as you
Speaker 3: just noted, but this is a Tesla cybertruck that exploded
Speaker 3: outside a Trump hotel. The symbolism of the moment seems
Speaker 3: clear to anyone who paid attention to the election last year.
Speaker 3: What are we learning, if anything, about why it happened
Speaker 3: where it did.
Speaker 2: At that point. At this point, the motive of the
Speaker 2: fact that you're having, again this vehicle associated with Elon
Speaker 2: Musk exploding at a property associated with Donald Trump is
Speaker 2: a point of concern, but at this point an unanswered
Speaker 2: question for investigators. Whether there was any kind of political
Speaker 2: motivation is unknown. The image there of this smoldering trunk
Speaker 2: Trump truck underneath a Trump Hotel property is staggering. At
Speaker 2: this point, Elon Musk is cooperating with investigators. Investigators have
Speaker 2: praised him for his help unlocking the vehicle and also
Speaker 2: getting surveillance footage. It's interesting as well. I mean, the
Speaker 2: cyber truck is a unique vehicle and it seems to
Speaker 2: absorb a lot of the damage from this explosion. There
Speaker 2: was very minimal damage to the actual Trump Hotel property.
Speaker 3: I was just going to ask you about how Elon
Speaker 3: Musk helped. You mentioned there that he unlocked the vehicle
Speaker 3: and has helped with some surveillance. I think there was
Speaker 3: a charging station involved as well.
Speaker 2: That's right. So Tesla has been cooperating with investigators. They
Speaker 2: provided them footage, especially from that charging location along the way.
Speaker 2: Law enforcement thanked Musk, and Musk has been kind of
Speaker 2: vital in putting out information about what they believe caused
Speaker 2: this in At first, there was a concern maybe this
Speaker 2: was some kind of lithium ion battery explosion. That was
Speaker 2: quickly disproven, with Tesla confirming that all of the analytics
Speaker 2: from the truck suggested that it was improper function when
Speaker 2: it exploded, and that the explosion itself could be blamed
Speaker 2: on those fireworks style mortars. They also found gas canisters
Speaker 2: and fuel in that truck bed, suggesting that this was
Speaker 2: an intentional explosion.
Speaker 3: Peter Harlambus's ABC News investigative reporter. He's joined us live
Speaker 3: this morning. Peter, Thank you so much for the time
Speaker 3: you gave us.
Speaker 2: Thanks much for having me.
Speaker 3: President Joe Biden has said he will award the nation's
Speaker 3: top honor excuse me, the nation's second highest civilian award
Speaker 3: on Liz Cheney and Benny Thompson, the lawmakers who led
Speaker 3: the congressional investigation into the violent January sixth, twenty twenty
Speaker 3: one riot at the US Capitol led by Donald Trump's supporters.
Speaker 3: Trump has said Cheney and Thompson should be jailed. Biden
Speaker 3: will award the Presidential Doesn't Medal to them and eighteen
Speaker 3: other people today, including Americans who fought for same sex marriage,
Speaker 3: a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers, and former US Senators
Speaker 3: Ted Kaufman of Delaware and Chris Dodd of Connecticut, longtime
Speaker 3: friends of the President, movie tickets haven't sold as well
Speaker 3: in the past year. The annual domestic box office is
Speaker 3: expected to end up at around eight point seven billion dollars,
Speaker 3: down three percent from the year before. In the pre
Speaker 3: pandemic norm the annual box office regularly surpassed eleven billion dollars.
Speaker 3: But industry experts have said there are some lessons to
Speaker 3: be learned from what worked, including PG rated and animated
Speaker 3: movies and re releases, and what didn't work, like the
Speaker 3: Joker sequel, So we'll see how Hollywood does this upcoming year.
Speaker 3: Early films from Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, and Clara Bow
Speaker 3: have all entered the public domain this year, so if
Speaker 3: you're interested in making a movie of your own or
Speaker 3: any other type of creative use with those titles, it's
Speaker 3: all yours. As of yesterday, the copyright expired for thousands
Speaker 3: of titles from nineteen twenty nine, making them free for
Speaker 3: public use. That includes many audio recordings from twenty nine,
Speaker 3: including the original Singing in the Rain, George Gershwin's An
Speaker 3: American in Paris, and Ravel's Bolero. Early classic books from
Speaker 3: William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, and Virginia woolf are now also
Speaker 3: in the public domain, as is the comic strip character Popeye.
Speaker 3: Ten people shot outside a nightclub in New York City.
Speaker 3: Police have said four men on foot approached a group
Speaker 3: of fifteen people ranging in age from sixteen to twenty
Speaker 3: outside the club in Jamaica, Queens. Three of those men
Speaker 3: open fire. Police have said that this was not an
Speaker 3: act of terrorism. The suspects are still on the loose.
Speaker 3: The suspect in a cold case murder in Moore Park
Speaker 3: will go on trial later this month. He's seventy three
Speaker 3: year old Anchwan Nime of Victorvilleent. He's facing several charges,
Speaker 3: including first degree murder. He's accused of killing seventy one
Speaker 3: year old Dennis Leroy Wood back in April of two
Speaker 3: thousand and four. Wood was found shot to death inside
Speaker 3: his home in Moore Park. Prosecutor say name killed him
Speaker 3: for financial gain. Lebron James's youngest son, Bryce, has committed
Speaker 3: to play basketball for the University of Arizona. The seventeen
Speaker 3: year old shooting guard will head to Tucson in the fall.
Speaker 3: James is currently a student at Campbell Hall High School
Speaker 3: in the San Fernando Valley. He played at Sierra Canyon
Speaker 3: High School in Chatsworth before transferring to Campbell Hall this
Speaker 3: past May. Of course, Lebron James's oldest son, Bronnie, plays
Speaker 3: in the Lakers organization now. He was drafted by the
Speaker 3: team in twenty twenty four. Camerrillo High School will be
Speaker 3: retiring the jersey of one of its most famous alumni.
Speaker 3: The number twenty four jersey of Miami Heat star Jamie
Speaker 3: Hakez Junior will be excuse me, Jamie Hakez Junior. His
Speaker 3: jersey will be retired on January fourteenth, the honor his
Speaker 3: schedule during the Heat's trip out here to LA for
Speaker 3: games against both the Lakers and the Clippersky has starred
Speaker 3: at camar Rio High School before moving on to UCLA,
Speaker 3: where he finished his college career as one of the
Speaker 3: ten best players in school history in terms of points scored, steals,
Speaker 3: and games played. Hakez was a first round draft pick
Speaker 3: for the Heat in twenty twenty three. This is his
Speaker 3: second NBA season. You see, if we have our guests,
Speaker 3: where we do not have our guests, we will be
Speaker 3: having a live report about the latest in the investigation
Speaker 3: in what's happened in New Orleans. What's going on around
Speaker 3: New Orleans both yesterday and today. We'll have that for
Speaker 3: you coming up as as soon as we have found
Speaker 3: ourselves connected to that. Of course, the attack in New
Speaker 3: Orleans killed fifteen people, injured many more. Also canceled a
Speaker 3: football game. A lot of people were in town to
Speaker 3: celebrate New Year's. A lot of people were in town
Speaker 3: to celebrate the Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame.
Speaker 3: We'll get an update on the status of that situation next,
Speaker 3: but for now, I believe we are ready for our
Speaker 3: live connection. The man who drove a rented pickup truck
Speaker 3: into a crowd of New Year's celebrants in the famous
Speaker 3: French Quarter of New Orleans was reportedly inspired by the
Speaker 3: Islamic State. He had an ISIS flag on the truck.
Speaker 3: So we'll talk about this forty two year old Army
Speaker 3: veteran from Texas who was killed by police during this chaos.
Speaker 3: The case is being investigated as an act of terror.
Speaker 3: Our national correspondent Rory O'Neill joins US now Live. Rory,
Speaker 3: what have we learned about this man? Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 4: Well, we know he's born and raised in Texas, was
Speaker 4: living in Texas at the time of this attack, and
Speaker 4: that he served in the US Army and actually was
Speaker 4: deployed to Afghanistan for a time. He had some business problems,
Speaker 4: was trying to use his IT skills and apply it
Speaker 4: to real estate somehow, but wound up with a chunk
Speaker 4: of debt and an ex wife who was costing him
Speaker 4: a lot of money. So we know he's also had
Speaker 4: a couple of arrests in his past, a dui, some
Speaker 4: other things, nothing violent, however, But exactly what turned him
Speaker 4: to go from a man who once defended America to
Speaker 4: attacking it That we don't know yet.
Speaker 3: There were a lot of posts of his circulating on
Speaker 3: social media. This was a guy who made some tweets,
Speaker 3: made some LinkedIn post all seemed rather benign or maybe
Speaker 3: just a little curious. And so you're saying, we don't
Speaker 3: know exactly what might have pushed him over the edge here,
Speaker 3: But what do we know about these alleged connections to
Speaker 3: a terror organization?
Speaker 4: Well, right, so the big question, We're going to hear
Speaker 4: this a lot, so everyone watch out for this. You're
Speaker 4: going to hear ISIS inspired, right, So he and he
Speaker 4: had the ISIS flag, So was it ISIS inspired or
Speaker 4: was it ISIS directed? And there's a big difference there
Speaker 4: because you know, one, he may be trying to act
Speaker 4: as a lone wolf and try to do this on
Speaker 4: his own to curry favor with ISIS. But if it's
Speaker 4: ISIS directed, that means that the terror organization was somehow
Speaker 4: either influencing him, giving him money, trying to convert him
Speaker 4: to attack his own home country. So I think those
Speaker 4: are the two things that the FBI is trying to
Speaker 4: find the distinction right now as to just how much
Speaker 4: ISIS may have been involved as a terror organization. And
Speaker 4: then are there links to what happened in New Orleans
Speaker 4: with that explosion of the cyber truck outside the Trump
Speaker 4: Hotel in Las Vegas. Both of them involved US Army veterans.
Speaker 4: Both of these men served at one point at the
Speaker 4: same Army base. Not sure if they ever crossed paths,
Speaker 4: but at some point they both served at the same base.
Speaker 4: They both use the same app to rent a high
Speaker 4: end pickup truck to be available for them on New
Speaker 4: Year's even New Year's Day, So coincidence or conspiracy.
Speaker 3: Yes, we will find out. I know there are investigations
Speaker 3: underway in both places and hopefully we will learn very soon.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping Rory, that you can describe the scene for us.
Speaker 3: It was obviously an immense tragedy and I've seen a
Speaker 3: video clip of that truck starting to plow into folks.
Speaker 3: It happened so fast. What can you tell us about
Speaker 3: that scene?
Speaker 4: Right the security camera footage is starting to come out
Speaker 4: from some of the places that are located there on
Speaker 4: Bourbon Street. It is an area that has a lot
Speaker 4: of surveillance footage, so they'll be going through a lot
Speaker 4: of that and that's going to take time. But just
Speaker 4: the speed I've seen a couple of videos, the speed
Speaker 4: that truck was able to achieve on that busy, crowded street,
Speaker 4: even though three o'clock in the morning after New Year's Eve,
Speaker 4: a lot of the folks were starting to wind things down.
Speaker 4: But a gruesome scene to be sure, because after the
Speaker 4: truck was stopped, of course, there was an exchange of gunfire.
Speaker 4: You know, we've talked about the fifteen people who were killed.
Speaker 4: More than thirty others still in the hospital. We don't
Speaker 4: know who was hit by, who was injured by the truck,
Speaker 4: who was injured by gunfire. Vice versa. We haven't seen
Speaker 4: that breakdown just yet, but we do know that the
Speaker 4: FBI has freed up the crime scene. So right now,
Speaker 4: the sanitation crews are up Bourbon Street. It's going to
Speaker 4: be up to the police superintendent there in New Orleans
Speaker 4: and the mayor of New Orleans to decide if they
Speaker 4: are ready to reopen Bourbon Street, maybe later today, just
Speaker 4: a few hours ahead of the Sugar Bowl this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Fifteen people are dead. What do we know about the
Speaker 3: people who were killed?
Speaker 4: Well, some of the information is slowly coming out. One
Speaker 4: of them, we know, was a student at university in Alabama.
Speaker 4: The others, you know, we saw mother and son couples
Speaker 4: who were barely escaping what had happened. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 4: been a broad mix of people and ages. Some of
Speaker 4: them tourists from out of state, which isn't surprising considering
Speaker 4: that kind of an event taking place for New Year's Eve.
Speaker 4: So it's a broad mix again of these fifteen people,
Speaker 4: and we're getting some of the profiles put together now.
Speaker 3: We're talking with our national correspondent Rory O'Neill. We talked
Speaker 3: a bit about any possible similarities between what happened in
Speaker 3: New Orleans and what happened in Las Vegas on the
Speaker 3: same day yesterday, But what is the status of this
Speaker 3: specific investigation in New Orleans. There seem to be some
Speaker 3: mixed signals just yesterday from officials at all levels about
Speaker 3: whether he's being looked at as a lone wolf or
Speaker 3: was he part of a group?
Speaker 4: Well, right, and in some cases they don't want to
Speaker 4: show their hand with the information that they have. Look,
Speaker 4: we all leave behind very sticky digital fingerprints, right, even
Speaker 4: using this app in order to rent the truck.
Speaker 5: Well, now the app is on your phone, and your
Speaker 5: phone has a GPS, and your phone knows where you've
Speaker 5: been ever since you've had it in your pocket, So
Speaker 5: they're gonna you know, they can recreate a person's life
Speaker 5: thanks to all these digital devices pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: So I think we're going to get a lot of
Speaker 4: information about this man. And then the phones can actually
Speaker 4: track who that phone was next to, and that can
Speaker 4: help you identify known associates as well. So's it'll be
Speaker 4: a lot of information though that has to be processed,
Speaker 4: and I know that there's a high demand for information,
Speaker 4: especially because you've got Marty Grass in New Orleans coming up.
Speaker 4: The super Bowl is coming up there as well. So
Speaker 4: these other big events that will draw tens of thousands,
Speaker 4: hundreds of thousands of people also have the people the
Speaker 4: city of New Orleans on edge, fearing that this man
Speaker 4: may have other accomplices who are still out there on
Speaker 4: the run right now.
Speaker 3: What has the message been from state and local officials
Speaker 3: about that? Specifically? You mentioned just moments ago that the
Speaker 3: you know, Bourbon Street all of that may reopen today.
Speaker 3: What are they saying. Are they saying come back.
Speaker 4: Yes, because they're going to put that message out that
Speaker 4: New Orleans is as safe as can be. The governor
Speaker 4: said yesterday that he intends to be act the Sugar
Speaker 4: Bowl to prove that it's safe. You know, they want
Speaker 4: to show that they're a resilient community. It's always difficult, though,
Speaker 4: to strike that balance that you want to mourn those
Speaker 4: who were killed and injured, but at the same time
Speaker 4: you want to stand up and say that, you know,
Speaker 4: we're not going to change because of what these terrorists
Speaker 4: are doing. So they're trying to strike that balance. Sadly,
Speaker 4: more and more cities have found ways to do it.
Speaker 4: Think of the nightclub shooting in Orlando again, another major
Speaker 4: tourist town. But they got through it and the Las Vegas,
Speaker 4: the shooting that happened there at the concert. Again they
Speaker 4: carry on because in many the tourism is the lifeblood
Speaker 4: of these communities and they need those businesses up and
Speaker 4: running bringing in the visitors.
Speaker 3: Roy O'Neil is our national correspondent. Rory, thank you so
Speaker 3: much for being with us this morning.
Speaker 4: Thanks talk to you soon.
Speaker 3: The Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame, part of
Speaker 3: the college football playoffs, was postponed due to that attack
Speaker 3: in New Orleans. It's expected to kick off today at
Speaker 3: one o'clock our time. Former longtime FBI official Rob Demico
Speaker 3: says other college bowl games and big New Year's events
Speaker 3: stepped up security following yesterday morning's attack, but accounting for
Speaker 3: every possible scenario is still a challenge.
Speaker 4: Security can only do so much.
Speaker 6: You have to really look at where the biggest crowd
Speaker 6: and the most vulnerability is going to be.
Speaker 3: You want to put all your resources and assets because
Speaker 3: that's the worst catastrophic event. Louisiana Congressman Troy Carter, he
Speaker 3: says the decision to postpone the game was not unlightly.
Speaker 3: He added, it was done with one single thing in mind,
Speaker 3: and that is public safety. The FBI says it disrupted
Speaker 3: an alleged plot to kill workers of a pro Israel
Speaker 3: organization on the first night of Hanukkah.
Speaker 6: Recent court documents claim that Forrest Pemberton of Gainesville, Florida,
Speaker 6: travel to the South Florida offices of the American Israel
Speaker 6: Public Affairs Committee just before Hanukkah to scout the area
Speaker 6: and return later with concealed firearms. Pemberton is accused of
Speaker 6: traveling to the organization's office with the intent of killing, injuring, harassing,
Speaker 6: and intimidating people in the group. He was arrested on
Speaker 6: the first day of Hanukkah when he was found in
Speaker 6: a ride share vehicle carrying weapons and ammunition. I'm Michael Kassner.
Speaker 3: President elect Trump will reportedly hold a victory rally on
Speaker 3: the day before his inauguration. That Inauguration Committee made an
Speaker 3: announcement Winsday Day yesterday saying Trump will hold his rally
Speaker 3: on January nineteenth at Capitol One Arena. The rally will
Speaker 3: also include featured speakers, though a list of those speakers
Speaker 3: has not yet been provided. The rally will be Trump's
Speaker 3: first speech in Washington, d C. Since January sixth, twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one, and Pope Francis has called for peace and
Speaker 3: the protection of life. In twenty twenty five. The Pope
Speaker 3: delivered his New Year's Day homily at Saint Peter's Basilica
Speaker 3: in the Vatican yesterday. In his mass, the Pope said,
Speaker 3: protecting life, caring for wounded life, and restoring dignity to
Speaker 3: the life of everyone born of woman is the fundamental
Speaker 3: basis for building a civilization of peace. The mass coincided
Speaker 3: with the World Day of Peace, which has commemorated each
Speaker 3: year on January first. We're going to have an update
Speaker 3: on what's going on in Congress coming up in a
Speaker 3: live report. There's going to be a battle over the
Speaker 3: speakership again, and we will I think we're ready to go. Okay,
Speaker 3: stand by. The new Congress scheduled to convene for the
Speaker 3: first time on Friday. One of the first orders of
Speaker 3: business is to elect his Speaker of the House. Speaker
Speaker 3: Mike Johnson may not sail to reelection, as some members
Speaker 3: of his own party have spoken against his leadership, especially
Speaker 3: during the process to approve a federal spending package. To
Speaker 3: avoid a government shutdown last month. Now his fellow Republican
Speaker 3: leaders have stacked some potential protections. ABC News National correspondent
Speaker 3: Steven Portnoy joins us live now from Washington, d C. Stephen,
Speaker 3: thank you so much for being with us this morning.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, and happy New year.
Speaker 3: Happy new year to you. What's going on? There's a
Speaker 3: new rules package that may make it harder to remove
Speaker 3: a speaker the way the GOP did. Kevin McCarthy, what's
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 7: Well, sure, if I have to qualify this, we don't
Speaker 7: want to put the car before the horse. If Mike
Speaker 7: Johnson gets elected speaker, then he proposes to change the
Speaker 7: rules in the way that you're talking about, which is
Speaker 7: to raise the bar for emotion to vacate from one
Speaker 7: single individual raising a question of the privileges of the
Speaker 7: House to nine member of the majority party. But again
Speaker 7: not to put the cart before the hears course, because
Speaker 7: the first order of business for the House when it
Speaker 7: convenes tomorrow for one hundred and nineteenth Congress at noon
Speaker 7: Eastern time, is the election of the speaker. And there
Speaker 7: will be fewer Republicans in the House chamber tomorrow than
Speaker 7: there have been in the last Congress. And you know
Speaker 7: how difficult it was two years ago for Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 7: to get the gavel fifteen rounds, and then ultimately nine
Speaker 7: months later he was ousted by Matt Gates and what
Speaker 7: Kevin McCarthy called the Crazy eight that was the number
Speaker 7: of Republicans who joined with Democrats to oust the speaker.
Speaker 7: And then there was nearly a month long vacuum from
Speaker 7: which Mike Johnson emerged. So fourteen months after that, the
Speaker 7: question is does Mike Johnson have the requisite unanimity in
Speaker 7: the conference that is now required to hold the gavel,
Speaker 7: And at the moment, it does not appear that the
Speaker 7: answer is yes. We're going to find out tomorrow at midday.
Speaker 3: I'm so appreciative of that cap you gave of recent
Speaker 3: events that involved California Congressman Kevin McCarthy and his oulster
Speaker 3: as speaker. I'm wondering if this indicates Republicans, particularly those
Speaker 3: in leadership roles, have learned some sort of lesson based
Speaker 3: on what happened to Mike Johnson's predecessor.
Speaker 7: Well, I think there are a number of lessons you
Speaker 7: could take away, but I'm not sure that there are
Speaker 7: any easy answers, because at the end of the day,
Speaker 7: you know, the old saying here in DC is that,
Speaker 7: you know, presiding over a fractious majority is like hurting
Speaker 7: cats because they all go in different directions and it's
Speaker 7: extremely difficult to kind of sort of get them all
Speaker 7: marching in the same direction. There is the powerful gravitational
Speaker 7: pull of President elect Trump, and what he has said
Speaker 7: earlier this week is that Mike Johnson is a good man,
Speaker 7: a religious man, and that Republicans should not blow this
Speaker 7: opportunity that have been given by the American people. He
Speaker 7: has a lot he wants to accomplish in the first
Speaker 7: few months of his next term. He needs a strong
Speaker 7: partner to lead the Republican conference in the House, and
Speaker 7: he believes that Mike Johnson is the man. The question
Speaker 7: is again whether Mike Johnson could get two hundred and
Speaker 7: eighteen votes, whether those cats will all be heard in
Speaker 7: this by him in the same direction.
Speaker 4: We're going to find out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So who are some of these Republicans? Who is
Speaker 3: this year's Matt Gates? I should ask, well, the.
Speaker 7: Lead opponent seems to be Thomas Massey of Kentucky, who
Speaker 7: has survived a Republican primary challenge from you know, a
Speaker 7: Trump loyalist. So he now, as the kid say, has
Speaker 7: no well, how do I phrase it? He doesn't have
Speaker 7: any Uh, he hasn't none left to give, right, And
Speaker 7: so I think at this point he's got to figure
Speaker 7: out how to, you know, get other members on board.
Speaker 7: And there may be a few who will join with
Speaker 7: Massey to say a name other than Johnson when the
Speaker 7: roll call is made tomorrow, but I'm not there's no
Speaker 7: indication to that Thomas Massey or any of his fellow
Speaker 7: travelers who might be willing to object to Johnson have
Speaker 7: any proposal that would achieve two hundred eighteen votes. It's
Speaker 7: believed that Mike Johnson's the only man who could do it,
Speaker 7: who can bring various strands together, because you have Northeastern moderates,
Speaker 7: you have you know, die in the wole, diehard conservatives
Speaker 7: who you know are pro magotypes, and then you have
Speaker 7: just the objectors who say that they want a strong speaker,
Speaker 7: not someone who demonstrates weakness by, for example, coming up
Speaker 7: with a compromise to keep the government running. And that's
Speaker 7: what Mike Johnson did, which some of these Republicans feel
Speaker 7: is too fatal to his chances of holding the gavel.
Speaker 3: Steve, and I know you've got to run. Any potential
Speaker 3: help from Democrats for the Republicans.
Speaker 4: I don't see that happening.
Speaker 7: In fact, there's the risk for Republicans that if Democrats
Speaker 7: are at full strength, and we expect that Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 7: will be in attendance tomorrow despite her recent hip surgery,
Speaker 7: if the republic if the Democrats are at full strengthen
Speaker 7: Republicans see a couple members either absent or voting present,
Speaker 7: depending on how it.
Speaker 4: All shakes out.
Speaker 7: There's the risk for Republicans that Keem Jefferies could become
Speaker 7: elected speaker.
Speaker 3: Crazy times. Indeed, Stephen Portnoy from ABC News will be
Speaker 3: there to document it for us, and I hope we
Speaker 3: get to talk about it again soon. Stephen. Thank you,
Speaker 3: you bet, and we'll continue now with wake Up Call.
Speaker 3: It is five forty one am here in Burbank, California.
Speaker 3: I noted this earlier in the broadcast, but if you've
Speaker 3: just joined as another person found dead on a freeway
Speaker 3: in LA, this time on the five near Lincoln Heights,
Speaker 3: where the CHP responded just before two o'clock this morning.
Speaker 3: The body was found partially in the right lane and
Speaker 3: right shoulder on the northbound side at Broadway. Multiple lanes
Speaker 3: shut down for the investigation. If it sounds familiar, it's
Speaker 3: because yesterday we had to report a similar situation where
Speaker 3: lanes on a typically busy freeway had to be shut
Speaker 3: down to investigate somebody who was walking on the freeway
Speaker 3: and hit and killed. That was on the one ten
Speaker 3: year down Town, LA. Man with no pants on hit
Speaker 3: by car in debt. We're also reporting that a man
Speaker 3: has died after crashing his suv into a horse trailer
Speaker 3: on the sixty Freeway and Diamond Barrie was only twenty
Speaker 3: years old. His vehicle overturned in the HOV lane on
Speaker 3: the eastbound side near Golden Springs Drive. Jose Santos to
Speaker 3: Alaska was his name. He died at the scene. The
Speaker 3: driver and passenger of the pickup truck that was pulling
Speaker 3: the horse trailer were not injured. Have you checked out
Speaker 3: the price of eggs gone up big time? And yes,
Speaker 3: bird flu is the main culprit nearly nine dollars per
Speaker 3: dozen right now because of a supply chain interruption basically
Speaker 3: over bird flu. And what about this, Let's say you
Speaker 3: live in a village in Nairobi, Kenya, and suddenly a
Speaker 3: giant piece of junk falls from space.
Speaker 6: Yes, the Kenyan Space Agency says the object is a
Speaker 6: metallic ring roughly eight feet in diameter that weighs about
Speaker 6: eleven hundred pounds. They say preliminary assessments indicate the space
Speaker 6: debris is a separation ring from a launch vehicle, which
Speaker 6: typically burns up upon re entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Fortunately,
Speaker 6: the object didn't hit any of the villagers, who quickly
Speaker 6: alerted authorities. The KSA says it's working to identify where
Speaker 6: the space junk originated. I'm Michael Kassner.
Speaker 3: You know, you realize how uninformed you are about the
Speaker 3: world when you hear about the Kenyan Space Agency.
Speaker 8: Who knew?
Speaker 3: Who knew? But they have one. So you learn something
Speaker 3: new every day, especially right here on wake up call.
Speaker 3: So we're so grateful that you joined us. We did
Speaker 3: just see a bolton come across from the AP that
Speaker 3: related to the economy. It looks like claims for unemployment
Speaker 3: benefits have dropped by nine thousand, two hundred and eleven
Speaker 3: thousand in a resilient US labor market. As announced by
Speaker 3: the AP this morning, eighty years ago today, the Japanese
Speaker 3: Americans who were taken into custody during World War Two
Speaker 3: and forced to live in internment camps while our country
Speaker 3: was at war with Japan were released. The Mukai family
Speaker 3: came back to their home in East La. They had
Speaker 3: been there for decades before the internment and have been
Speaker 3: there in the decades since. Descendant Ron Mukai has built
Speaker 3: a commercial center there and he operates East La Jujitsu.
Speaker 3: Today he will tell his family's story. Ron Mukai, thank
Speaker 3: you so much for taking the time to talk to
Speaker 3: us today.
Speaker 8: It's my pleasure.
Speaker 3: It's been eighty years since the release of all of
Speaker 3: those Japanese Americans who were interned. How did the story
Speaker 3: of that time get told in your family?
Speaker 8: Well, my dad was eight when he went into camp.
Speaker 8: He was eleven when he got out, So it wasn't
Speaker 8: so much being released. It was after he was released
Speaker 8: what they went through, and then for me as a
Speaker 8: kid growing up, seeing how those events shaped his life,
Speaker 8: shaped the man who he was, how he viewed the
Speaker 8: world so to.
Speaker 3: Speak, and what was it.
Speaker 8: Well, obviously when he got out he was mad and
Speaker 8: he suffered a lot of prejudice, people would call him
Speaker 8: a Jap So it made him fight a lot, It
Speaker 8: made him very loyal to his friends, It made him
Speaker 8: very committed to being successful, and and also too, he
Speaker 8: was a very strong person. He never considered himself a victim.
Speaker 8: He always talked about it like it was something unfortunate
Speaker 8: that happened. But hey, it's life, and it happened, and
Speaker 8: this is you know, if life it gives you lemonae.
Speaker 8: If life gives you lemons, you make lemonae. So well,
Speaker 8: these are people who always took it as.
Speaker 3: I was just going to say, these are people who
Speaker 3: lived right here in California and then were told to
Speaker 3: go live in a very specially designated place that might
Speaker 3: not have been entirely comfortable for them or warranted. I'm wondering,
Speaker 3: did it change the way this place felt like home
Speaker 3: to them?
Speaker 8: No, I don't think so, because when they came back,
Speaker 8: they came back to East LA and they opened their
Speaker 8: store and they just sort of picked up with their life.
Speaker 8: If you know Japanese, they won even to get the
Speaker 8: first generation or even the second generation the mesa to
Speaker 8: talk about it. It's not like something they talked about
Speaker 8: every day. The first generation didn't even talk about it
Speaker 8: at all. So my grandparents never talked about it. It's
Speaker 8: like some bad thing that happened that you just never
Speaker 8: talked about. For my dad and his generation, they would
Speaker 8: talk about it, but not in terms of you know,
Speaker 8: those people. It's just something unfortunate that happened. Then they
Speaker 8: had to make the best of it. So I don't
Speaker 8: think it embittered them towards East LA in general. Maybe
Speaker 8: individuals in East LA, but my dad and my mom's
Speaker 8: family they both loved and they made their life here,
Speaker 8: and they had businesses here and friends, and they weren't
Speaker 8: embittered in general towards La.
Speaker 3: Now, So how did you learn about it in what contexts?
Speaker 8: Well, just growing up, I always knew that my dad
Speaker 8: and his family went to camp. They'd always tell stories
Speaker 8: about being in camp. My dad would always talk about
Speaker 8: how cold it was. I know, he had artifacts, you know,
Speaker 8: like petrified woods they picked up in camp, things like this,
Speaker 8: and then just talking about their experience. When they got home.
Speaker 8: My dad would always talk about people calling him a
Speaker 8: jap and how he had to fight a lot, but
Speaker 8: it was always tempered with all the good things in life,
Speaker 8: like they never really Dwelt on the fact that this,
Speaker 8: you know, changed the course of their life forever, and
Speaker 8: they were negatively impacted. It's almost like something bad that
Speaker 8: happened and it's okay. Now they're living their life and
Speaker 8: they're doing just fine.
Speaker 3: We're talking with Ron Mukai, whose family has a long
Speaker 3: history in East la and some members of his family
Speaker 3: were part of those Japanese Americans who were in turn
Speaker 3: during World War Two. Here in the United States, you're
Speaker 3: hosting what you're calling a teachable moment. What is teachable
Speaker 3: in your view about the lessons from eighty years ago.
Speaker 8: I think that one is that when things happen, that
Speaker 8: it's important to not view it as US versus them. So,
Speaker 8: for example, in World War Two, it was them the Japanese,
Speaker 8: And if you understand, that's not an easy statement, because
Speaker 8: I'm sure they might have had some disloyal Japanese, but
Speaker 8: there were many people that were very loyal and just
Speaker 8: wanted to be residents or citizens of the US and
Speaker 8: live their lives. So I think one is to not
Speaker 8: view things in terms of US versus them. I think
Speaker 8: that's a very dangerous statement. But then on the other side,
Speaker 8: it's important to not see yourself as a victim and
Speaker 8: to not live your life from the viewpoint of being
Speaker 8: a victim. So things I learned from my parents and
Speaker 8: my grandparents were even though unfortunate things happened to them,
Speaker 8: that this is still It's America. It's the greatest country
Speaker 8: in the world. And if you work hard, if you're
Speaker 8: a person of excellent character, if you surround yourself with
Speaker 8: excellent people, you can do whatever you want to do.
Speaker 8: And I think that my dad's life and our family
Speaker 8: we've benefited tremendously from that can do attitude. And you know,
Speaker 8: I'm still here in East LA. I run a nonprofit
Speaker 8: jiu jitsu school called East l A Jiu Jitsu. And
Speaker 8: this is the values that I'm stealing in my students.
Speaker 8: It's like, we are not victims. We are not the
Speaker 8: poor brown people that need to hand out. We are
Speaker 8: capable individuals and if we have excellent character and we
Speaker 8: work hard, we can do anything. And I think that's
Speaker 8: what we're showing. We're showing the world that these kids
Speaker 8: from East la can do anything that they want to do.
Speaker 3: And you are a black belt in jiu jitsu, and
Speaker 3: you do have a lot of Latino students. Your family
Speaker 3: is Japanese, your wife is a Latina, you speak Spanish.
Speaker 3: Can you share with us how the Japanese or the
Speaker 3: Asian American cultures have blended with the Latino American culture
Speaker 3: in East LA and how that relates to the message
Speaker 3: you just said about not using an US versus them mentality.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I think back in the day what people
Speaker 8: don't realize with East LA is a lot of people
Speaker 8: lived in East LA. Basically, my yeah's best friend's name
Speaker 8: was Rosario Aleggio. He was an Italian guy. So there
Speaker 8: were Jews, there was Italians, there was Mexicans, there was Japanese,
Speaker 8: there was Chinese. There was all kinds of different people
Speaker 8: living on this side and they all work together. So,
Speaker 8: for example, I just told the story the other day.
Speaker 8: Both my grandma's on the Japanese side and the Chinese
Speaker 8: side spoke Spanish. I think they might have spoken Spanish
Speaker 8: before they spoke English because their market. A lot of
Speaker 8: the people that went there on my Japanese side were
Speaker 8: predominantly Mexican, so my grandma learned to speak Spanish, I
Speaker 8: think before she learned to speak English.
Speaker 3: And you are serving at your event, a combination of
Speaker 3: items to blend those cultures together. Mocheap on dulce, and
Speaker 3: these are desserts that are commonly eaten in both Japanese
Speaker 3: and Latino households. What do you expect your Latino students
Speaker 3: to take away from lessons about the Asian American the
Speaker 3: Japanese American internaments of World War Two?
Speaker 8: Well, I think it's just good nowadays just to introduce
Speaker 8: the students to these historical events, because a lot of
Speaker 8: them don't recognize that that this happened or sort of
Speaker 8: the magnitude of how it happened, and then to recognize
Speaker 8: that it's all the things that you don't I'll give
Speaker 8: you an analogy with jiu jitsu. It's the things that
Speaker 8: you don't know that are dangerous. If you don't know,
Speaker 8: somebody's going to do this to you. That's why jiu
Speaker 8: jitsu works in a fight is by the time you
Speaker 8: figure out what they're doing to you, it's already being
Speaker 8: done to you. I think in life too, you have
Speaker 8: to recognize all the things that you don't know and
Speaker 8: recognize that it's what you don't know that's dangerous. So
Speaker 8: by introducing the students to the fact that this did
Speaker 8: happen during World War Two and the Japanese were interned
Speaker 8: and the hardships they went through and how they overcame
Speaker 8: those things. You're just educating them on something unfortunate that happened,
Speaker 8: and it gives them a reminder of how not to
Speaker 8: repeat those mistakes. And just mochi. You know, if you
Speaker 8: never ate mochi, like what is this? Kind of chew?
Speaker 8: It's kind of sweet?
Speaker 4: What is this?
Speaker 8: So it's going to just be fun.
Speaker 3: Ron Mukai is the operator of East La Jiu Jitsu.
Speaker 3: His family has a long history in East La. He
Speaker 3: is also the descendant of family members who were interned
Speaker 3: in Wyoming during the Japanese interment of World War two,
Speaker 3: right here in America. Ron, thank you so much for
Speaker 3: sharing the story with us today. We do appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and if anybody's listening out there they want to
Speaker 8: come down and visit or or join with us in
Speaker 8: our cause East La Jiu Jitsu, they're more than welcome
Speaker 8: to come by. You know, all of our fees are
Speaker 8: on a sliding scale. We don't turn anybody away. So
Speaker 8: our tagline is building character through jiu jitsu.
Speaker 3: And that event in East La is today from eight
Speaker 3: o'clock this morning till ten o'clock this morning at East
Speaker 3: La Jiu Jitsu. You can look it up online, but
Speaker 3: the address is thirty six to sixty first Street in
Speaker 3: La Hard to believe. Eighty years ago Japanese family is
Speaker 3: released from internment camps right here in the United States
Speaker 3: of America. Many of those families returning to their regular
Speaker 3: homes here in Greater La. Lakers Center. Anthony Davis has
Speaker 3: been called questionable for tonight's game against the Trailblazers at
Speaker 3: Crypto dot Com Arena. He's got that left ankle sprain
Speaker 3: he's dealing with the third consecutive game eighty has been
Speaker 3: listed as questionable because of the injury that sidelined him
Speaker 3: for the final three quarters of a Warriors game back
Speaker 3: on Christmas. Davis has been able to start games and
Speaker 3: has scored thirty six points grabbed fifteen rebounds in a
Speaker 3: one two twenty two victory over the Kings. On Saturday,
Speaker 3: he scored twenty eight points, pulled down a team high
Speaker 3: thirteen rebounds, and a lost to Cleveland This week with
Speaker 3: the six foot ten inch guard guard excuse me, the
Speaker 3: six foot ten inch Davis is third in the league
Speaker 3: in free throws with one hundred ninety nine and block
Speaker 3: shots he averaged two poer game. So let's hope he
Speaker 3: gets fully healthy so we can drop the questionable status.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine what it's going to look like when
Speaker 3: he's completely added again. I'm a Kentucky basketball fan. He
Speaker 3: helped us win a title there, so love ad get well.
Speaker 3: The average price of a gallon of self served gasoline
Speaker 3: in LA it's dropped again today by one tenth of
Speaker 3: a cent. So there's another piece of money that you
Speaker 3: could apply to your eggs basket. Since the price of
Speaker 3: eggs has gone up, the average price is seven tenths
Speaker 3: of a cent less than it was a week ago,
Speaker 3: three point four cents less than it was a month ago,
Speaker 3: and thirty four point eight cents lower than one year ago.
Speaker 3: Of course, it has dropped more than two dollars since,
Speaker 3: rising to a record of six dollars and forty nine
Speaker 3: cents two long years ago. October of twenty twenty two,
Speaker 3: prices dropped three tenths of a cent in Orange County,
Speaker 3: so you've got even more money in Anaheim to put
Speaker 3: towards your eggs. Good for you. This is KFI and
Speaker 3: KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County, Southland Weather from KFI.
